OBJECTIVES This study characterized the feldspathic ceramic surfaces after various silanization protocols. METHODS Ceramic bars (2 mm × 4 mm × 10 mm) (N = 18) of feldpathic ceramic (VM7, VITA Zahnfabrik) were manufactured and finished. Before silane application, the specimens were ultrasonically cleaned in distilled water for 10 min. The ceramic specimens were randomly divided into nine group...

Relevance . The questions of research physical and chemical characteristics reinforcing tapes, peculiarities connection composite material component the splint, indicators strength their connection, optimal thickness for tape covering remain not fully studied require further work in this direction order to optimize splinting stages mobile teeth various clinical situations nosological forms dise...

Ti prosthesis have shown better biological compatibility, mechanical performance, and resistance to corrosion in cases of bone replacements. Nevertheless, fully dense connection with bone-host tissues show stress-shielding phenomenon that, together the development frequent undesirable microbial infections, may lead implant failures. To overcome these issues, present study aimed at a novel combi...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the various roles 1,3-DiPhenyl Guanidine (DPG) in silica-reinforced rubber compounds. Two DPG are well known be: adsorption onto silica surface reduce acidic sites and second boost silanization reaction as secondary accelerator. However, these two a way conflicting. When molecules occupy reactive silanol on by adsorption, then access silane needed for silic...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the effects of heat treatment on the tribochemical silica coating and silane surface conditioning and the bond strength of rebonded alumina monocrystalline brackets. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sixty alumina monocrystalline brackets were randomly divided according to adhesive base surface treatments (n=20): Gc, no treatment (control); Gt, tribochemical silica c...

Immobilization of functional molecules in ordered microarrays has vast importance for many applications sensing and diagnostics. Here, the immobilization small molecule compounds protein microchannel cantilever spotting (?CS) on epoxy-terminated glass surfaces is studied via ring-opening epoxides by thiol, amine, azide, with purpose creating microscale patterns applications. For this, carrying ...
